176F7306

Product Description:

The 176F7306 drive from Danfoss sits in the VLT Adjustable Micro Drives group and comes built for simple installs in smaller automation tasks. The input voltage is 1 x 200–240 V ±10%, landing this drive right with standard single-phase power. At its base, the drive gives a continuous output current of 2.5 A and runs up to a typical shaft output of 0.5 HP (0.4 kW), so it covers light conveyors, pump loops, or compact fans. There’s also a 0.1–400 Hz output frequency range, meaning some stick with a slower pace while others run fast. If heavier loads pop up for a bit, 150% overload for 1 minute backing keeps the current from tripping forever.

For hassles with environments that kick up a little dust or need safer cabling, the IP20 (chassis) rating steps in. Maxi cable length stretches to 150 ft (50 m), handy for reaching motors that aren’t close by the cabinet. On start-up or with changes, ramp times go 0.1 to 600 seconds, letting settings shift smooth without sudden jumps. Weight isn’t listed in the main stats but the size stays compact, so it goes onto back panels or slides in equipment corners without a fight. Over in the specs, the switching frequency is user-adjustable, giving more flexibility for working with delicate motors or reducing hum.

Enclosure is not watertight, so open drips or heavy splash areas need something a bit tougher, but this one stands its ground in standard electrical rooms. Setup feels simple because there are no exotic voltages, and that 2.5 A output fits small industrial loads just right.
